There are two ways to assign instructors to a course: within a course section or by clicking on the Instructors link under the Planner Menu in Offerings Planner. 

This page provides instructions for assigning instructors to all courses except Independent Study (IND). Please visit the Independent Study Instructor Management page for instructions specific to IND courses.

Please visit the Instructor Roles page for information about the four instructor role options and how to assign them. 

Important to Note

  • Each Course Section must have at least one instructor assigned one month prior to the start of the course
  • Instructor assignments do not replicate and need to be added by the department each session a course is offered (IND courses excepted)
  • Each course section must have a Primary Instructor assigned prior to assigning any other instructor type. If the Primary Instructor is unknown, TBD can be chosen for the instructor name in order to assign other instructors to the section.

Change Primary Instructor

It can become necessary to update who is listed as Primary Instructor after that role has already been assigned to an individual. Often times this involves moving someone already assigned another instructor role for the section into the Primary Instructor role.

Because only one individual can be listed as the Primary Instructor, steps must be taken in a specific order to update the Primary Instructor. Steps to do so are as follows:

Update Primary Instructor when instructor is already assigned

Within the course section click on the Instructors link or select Instructors from the tabs drop down

Instructors link in course section

Use the trashcan icon next to the individual who needs to be listed as the Primary Instructor to DELETE their current instructor role
